Dartmoor Full Circle 100
The Dartmoor 100, called The Full Circle, is the first complete circumnavigation of Dartmoor to take place as an official race event. The route follows the waymarked Dartmoor Way walking route and is the only landlocked 100 mile race in South West England. The event in 2026 runs from 2 to 3 October.
The course skirts the periphery of the moor and uses tracks and trails including woodland and riverside sections, green lanes and quiet country lanes. The route passes moorland villages and known landmarks and includes over 4000 m of ascent over rocky, tussocky and boggy Dartmoor terrain. Competitors should expect a night section and variable late autumn weather including cold, rain or possible snow.
The race is continuous and non stop. Competitors must visit six indoor checkpoints to complete the course. Checkpoints are located in village or church halls and provide hot food and drinks and staffed aid stations. The maximum time allowed to finish is 34 hours.
Entry requirements specify prior ultra experience. To enter the 100 mile event competitors must have completed at least one 50 mile finish within the stated qualifying period. GPS tracking is used for safety and route files are provided. A compulsory race kit is required. Finishers receive a bespoke medal and there are trophies and age category prizes. Medical support, changing and shower facilities and weekend parking are provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
